I used unsweetened chocolate squares in my recipe so I could avoid the soy found in most commercial chocolate and choose the sweetener. Any chocolate will work in the recipe, but you will have to greatly reduce the amount of sweetener if you use one that is already sweetened. Start with a 1/2 cup total and go from there.I added a glossy ganache (melted chocolate with coconut milk to thin) and cranberries, but this torte is good by itself! I think some tart leftover cranberry sauce on top would be fun too.
